Great novel with a compelling cast. But I feel it lacked development and detail. It also seemed that the novel was rushing to the finish in other words it was very quickly paced, but that may be due to my inexperience with graphic novels. Otherwise a great novel with a compelling story and characters a true jem among other comics. Buy this novel you won't be able to get enough!

Pretty good. Nothing amazing about the artwork which is usually what I'm looking for in a graphic novel but I love the t.v. series and this sticks to the story. Would like to have seen a couple of the scenes done up showing off the artists talent.
